Bookroo's summary

Everyone says you can do anything. But surely not anything: you cannot eat a waffle the size of a car or teach a chicken to bake a pie. A silly, bouncy rhyming look at all the things you just can't do, and a nudge to try anyway.

From the publisher

Teaching kids confidence and challenging their own limits is the hilarious message in this look at some of the things you can't really do--unless you really want to try. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING! Well, now wait a second. Certainly not anything? You can't eat a waffle the size of a car or fart a rainbow or teach a chicken to bake a pie, right? Join in on this silly, bouncy journey to discover all the things you just CAN'T do. Or can you . . .
